Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?

Hi. First of all, I am not an audiophile but simply love music and like it certain way but not overly crazy. I started out with solid state Mcintosh for couple years. I recently listen to few tube amps like audio research, t+a, cary audio and prima luna. I can afford all those big expensive brands but I thought primaluna sounded as good if not better and it cost fraction of other big names.  Just curious if anyone has experience with it? What you like the most? What you feel need improvement? Any issue with customer service? How's the company? Is quality really that better as they claim against other competitors? Thank you for your feedback.

How would you guys compare it to the higher priced AR, T+A, CA, VTL, Rouge, Mcintosh? In term of parts quality?

I think I can afford some of the high end amps but I dont want to be stupid spending 5-6 times for lesser quality.

You should type "Primaluna" in the forum search. Many comments to see.

Ifyou do a search, the PL threads go back a decade.

One of the few "bang for your buck" tube amps(domestic or USA)

Great gear AND company support if needed. I've had EXCELLENT 
technical warranty/technical support from PL.

If you're not  stuck on"made in USA" you won't go wrong.

After that, your ears decide if PL is for you.

I buy and sell gear all the time.  Some my stuff is way more expensive but I will never sell my PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium integrated amp!

The build quality is excellent and the US importer is a straight up guy.

I think they are good too but just need to check since I am new to tube and not familiar with their name.

Wondering those who bought a $35,000 amps just because they can afford and it's more of lifestyle or the $35k gears truly that great?

PrimaLuna says their gear is same level if not better than the 5 digits gears.

i am going to get a loaner and listen at home. Thanks guys.
